for everyone

Found a book of Madlibs at a bookstore a few months ago, and I've been meaning to give it to Dui. So when they came over for one of the dinner extravaganzas my extended family puts together every now and then, I gave her the book.

I think I got around three hundred points in the Good Auntie category. She went around the whole night, asking people to give her nouns, names, adjectives and the like. And then had giggle fits over the resulting silly stories.

I noticed that some of the words that kept cropping up were: "booger", "smelly", and "armpit". Which I assume are Dui's favorite words as of the moment.

Being the dutiful aunt, I showed her how to spell "booger" correctly. I have always looked forward to the day when I'd be sitting in a kitchen, showing my eight-year-old niece the correct spelling of the word "booger", but I never imagined it would be so soon. They grow up so fast... *wistful sigh*

I eagerly await the day Dui asks me how to spell "vomit", "putrid" and "flatulence".

hahaha, thanks "dutiful aunt". dui wanted to finish everything off in one sitting, but we said, one per day ... so the book will last longer.
